Farm2Fork Event

It was time! All the hard work for the last 5 weeks had all built up to this moment, the Farm2Fork event sponsored by Rabobank.
This event was a place for all contributors to the food and agricultural industries to come together and celebrate all that they have done.
I had spent the night before and the whole morning setting up our massive ‘farm shed’ stand, and here is the final product:

The event was so successful, all thanks to this baby! We had a smoke machine in the hay bales so everyone thought it was on fire:

The team I worked with generated so much interest in the company, which made the CEO very happy for the rest of the day!
There were a few celebrities at the event; we had The Dutch Royals who I managed to get a sneaky pic of as they walked past me:

And there was this year’s winner of MasterChef Australia, Elena, who I was lucky enough to meet:

The day consisted of speeches, networking, showcasing, eating and drinking. My favourite stall was a new business selling seaweed tagliatelle, this stuff had no carbs in it at all!
As the event drew to a close we were all taken outside to an area filled with food and drink trucks, and a live band.
Here is my team enjoying the free food:

Once again, I was far too hungry to take any photos so here is what was served at the event (they were all in small portions so you could try them all, which I obviously did):

Pork dumplings

Fish tacos

Lamb with tzatziki

New Hampshire crab cakes

Thai sticky chicken

Bread and olives

Freshly shucked oysters

Kanafe (a Persian version of creme brulee)

Baked apple with Parmesan cheese and gingerbread (made by Elena from MasterChef)

It was a fantastic event, the food and the people made it extra special. I’m so glad I was part of it!
